The ships dock against the staging
after sometimes spending several days anchored in the bay. They
dock at low tide so that they can leave at high tide when fully
loaded - there is little depth of water under the pier. The fully
illuminated MV Victress left, in the dark and this
was a crude attempt to record the scene as the Douglas Complex
gas rig flared off in the background with the flame reflecting
off the low cloud base. Better luck next time! I have no idea
as to what the light under the boat could be - too rough to be
a reflection, but the red light near the rig is the weather monitoring
mast's flashing beacon! 06/03/2009 |
